Will You Dare to Find New Ways?

One people, one nation, one Singapore
That's the way that we'll be, forever more
Every creed and every race
Has its role and has its place
One people, one nation, one Singapore

Today is the time of the year when we sing our hearts out, belting out the lyrics of those national songs爱国歌, with gusto and pride. And, I see no reason why we shouldn't do so.

This tiny red dot, smacks somewhere in that world globe of yours, has come a long long way, and has achieved so much that her people are all well taken care of. We may be well pampered, we have lots of complaints (yes, I know, Singaporeans are complaint kings and queens), know nought of social grace and road courtesy, love to queue especially the queue is for food (haha), never miss out a sale, super kiasu and whatever nought you name it. But that's what make us so special and unique.

We have an efficient government (I know I know, you guys may not agree with me and gonna protest) but we really cannot find fault with the current government. They make sure all of us have affordable roof over our head, a retirement egg nest, enjoy the harvest the government reaps, have the ability to work beyond retirement and be prepared at all times against terroism. So, what's so bad about it?

There will always be people out there sniggering at us being 乖乖仔, no freedom of speech (is that so?), the ruling PAP is our nanny, but who cares? Well, I do lah, especailly if it gets on my nerve. But I must pity those smart alecks coz they never enjoy what we are enjoying. Aiyah, I think they never know. They never will.

Like what PM Lee has said in his National Day speech, "Singapore's changing...and I'd like Singaporeans to see it." Yes, I do like what I am seeing and we defnitely will completely transform.

Happy Birthday Singapore, and for more good years ahead :)! Yeah!

I am 16...

....going on 17.........I know I am naive..... -- Sound of Music --

How I wish I can say that again. Oh alright, am 37 going on 38. OMG, 38. Should I say scary? I really cannot imagine when I hit the BIG 4--0 in a couple of years time.

When I was much younger and innocent (*ahem), I simply could not wait for my 21st birthday. When it finally came, it was just fantastic coz leagally, I'm an adult. Ha....so, soon after, 22nd, 23rd came so fast that I could bargain for. So much so that I wish time can slow down.

I know, ageing with grace is a must now. And, as you grow a year older, you also turn wiser and mellower, hopefully. Everyday when I look at myself in the mirror, I really like what I am seeing. Yours truly looks so much presentable and more pleasing to the eyes :). Should I say with more sophistication? Yes, would like to believe so. And, yes, beauty never comes cheap or easy. You cannot imagine the regime, day and night, hot and cold, you have to adhere. Well, nothing ventures nothing gains. Yes? No?

I am always a happy-go-lucky gal, and definitely a staunch believer of kismet/fate. I, for one, do not believe that you can change or test fate. Your life has been destined upon birth and it is up to you how to live it to the fullest, for worse or for better. I choose to live it happily and adventuoursly. Happily coz I love the warm fuzzy feeling of joy and happiness. Adventurously coz you only live once, so no room for regret. None at all, to be precise.

So, at this point of time, I have crossed half of my life. Yes, there is no regret or whatsoever, and I do not see why I should have any. I try not to dwell on the uncertainty which may lie ahead of me. Come what may, it will be....que sera sera.....

狮子座

如果你想认识，或了解我，我想，以下的小解可让你得到一些蛛丝马迹。


狮子是森林之王，但大家都知道，比狮子聪明，厉害的动物不计其数。无可否认的，狮子的长相与吼声架势十足，而且独来独往的它们，很容易显得自以为是或高高在上。这点与狮子座人生的基调很相似。但自以为是和高高在上，都是在人群中比较出来的，当人群散去后，自以为是可能转变成不被了解的愤怒，而高高在上则导致高处不胜寒的孤寂感。

人生如戏，生活的每个角落都是人生舞台，既然要表演，就要演的漂亮、秀个痛快。狮子座人把生活的每个角落都当成自己表演的舞台，似乎看淡人生的他们，其实有一套强烈的自我主张。

狮子座的女孩是那种被群星拱月而仍旧泰然自若的女子，她也许不是最美，但是派头最足、人气最旺，举手投足之间散发出来的热力，可以将所有异性的眼神熔化。

不管她在现实世界的出身如何，她都是传说中的皇族女子。表现欲很强的狮子座女性，一旦不受到别人的重视或被低估时，脸上会立即显现出不悦的神色，令人敬而远之。但她们做任何事都光明磊落，自信心极强，且不畏权势。

狮子座的女性很自我，做事没恒心。所以，虽具备临导能力，却很难有效地发挥。不过，她们具有为别人牺牲、奉献的精神，而且有一颗真诚的心。

对狮子座而言，爱可以让世界转动。他们喜欢爱人，也喜欢被爱。他们是理想的情人，具备了使爱情变得神奇或使某件事变得特别的天赋。

他们也需要对方的回应，不论男女，都一样是善妒的猫，无法忍受一堆苍蝇追逐着他们的另一半，更加无法忍受的是背叛，那会使他们深深受伤，而且无法宽恕对方。

他们还会期望对方如对待君王或女王般地对待他们，从某个角度来说，狮子座可能表现出惹人爱的一面，所以你才愿意这么对待他（她）。但从另一个角度来看，这种帝王般的态度，有时还真惹人厌。
